The way you looked around to see if anyone was within earshot demonstrates the feelings of every Canadian outdoorsman right now. Great review! Great gun! Edit: just caught the train sound. But perfect timing while speaking about buying a gun!
Get a Holosun 3X Magnifier and enjoy how this baby turns into a 400 yard shooter. Also a nice flashlight to complete it. If you experience more malfunctions, replace the ejector with MCARBO. It solves all issues of this rifle.
I bought this "chassis" carbine version partly B/C I was fed up paying $1.00 PER ROUND for 5.7 x 28 ammo for my FN PS90. I've totally upgraded my RUGER PCC with MAGPUL, MCARBO, TANDEMKROSS, TACCCOM parts and a HOLOSUN AEMS circle/dot sight. Now I'm ready for Steel Challenge competition. My RUGER PC may be homely but it is now BADASS and utterly reliable.
PS90's are a badass gun too, as someone who isn't part of a gun club I like the fact I can just take out this rifle wherever, whenever. So far I added some Magpul, Daniel Defense & Tandemkross accessories, running a Vortex Sparc AR, thinking about getting a Streamlight flashlight and maybe I brake in the future.
You really need to get an MCARBO extractor and the bolt pins that come with it. The RUGER extractor is stamped and won't last much more than 800 to 1,000 rounds. TheMCARBOextractor is hardened tool steel that is precisely CNC machined. I also like the TANDEMKROSS Victory trigger and their ambidextrous LEVER safeties, replacing the clumsy RUGER button safety. For +P or +P+ ammo functioning I recommend the TANDEMKROSS or MCARBO heavier bolt recoil spring.@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors
I did after the video, it is really easy to clean but despite having not cleaned it much until that point it had no holdups or any effect on the cycling or operation of the rifle which is a great sign of how reliable they are!
Let’s hope no one does anything stupid or needlessly violent. Anywhere! Apparently what goes on in Texas has an effect on Canadian law, so you aren’t wrong to be concerned.
Great video!! Just got one, can’t wait to try it out. Thought the mags had to pinned to 5rds though because it’s technically a “rifle” even if it’s pistol calibered? Hence the 5rd pinned glock drums they sell for it?
If you're referring the the MagPul Drum, they're pinned at 10 as well, being that their original design was for a handgun, it creates sort of a loophole in the regulations allowing you to use them and other handgun magazines with a capacity of 10 cartridges in your PCC. Same goes for LAR-15 magazines in AR pattern magwells.
I think your detailed video just helped me decide between this and the fx9,I’ve been wanting to get a occ for the last year now,my heart was set for the Ruger pc charger but they are no where to be found in Canada???
Chargers are restricted in Canada, with the current political climate majority of stores refuse to bring them in due to the possibility of them being banned at any given time, I would ask your local dealer if they’re able to special order one for you
@@Kevin_drinks_Lead I just tested it out here and the magazine does lock into place with the bolt closed, but the force I need to put on mine with a maximum capacity mag is almost unreasonable, I really have to force it in for it to lock into place with my particular magazines, I tested with less cartridges in the magazine and it did make it easier, I think with most of my magazines being relatively new that the spring tension might be a bit too much and they're pressing against the bolt too hard and it's just barely surpassing the magazine locking piece.
It'll give me a better view of my surroundings that's for sure, though I haven't had any issues with keeping zero, torqued to spec with blue loctite. I like it where it is because the Sparc AR has a bit of a more narrow tube than what I have ran in the past so it's not as large of a sight picture as some other red dot/optics, having it where it is makes me feel a bit more comfortable with my accuracy.
I am running PMAG 10 Glock G17 9mm 10Rnd mags, they also make PMAG 17, 21 and 27 as some other common and notable models, the sizes of those magazines are far better for operation in my opinion, but didn't feel the need to buy larger mags when we can only hold 10 rounds to begin with.
Handguard with the full stock? Yeah I wouldn't doubt that they're a pain, definitely like the design of that model but they should probably have an option with full stock no irons.
Considering 9mm is a generally slow cartridge, the likelihood is that it doesn’t alter the FPS by anything substantial, I haven’t taken it to a chronograph yet but would like to get one eventually
I could be biased being that I have my own Ruger but I love it and haven't had any issues, the FPC is a really good gun from what I hear but I also have hesitation being that it's a similar design to the KelTec Sub2k, I have heard issues about them and the FPC is almost too new to have any solid long term testing.
@@CanadianDoorMan It’s going be aluminum but not really finding specifications as to which type, likely 7075-T6 Aerospace Grade similar to the rest of the rifle
The magazines I am using are 10 round Magpul glock magazine! Here in Canada, even if I had a drum I could only legally have 10 rounds loaded into the firearm.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors right, exactly. I’m in Canada as well. The glock mag just looks longer than the factory ruger mag. Is the ruger mag that comes with it a 10 round as well?
@@connorbarnstable9148 Yes, it comes with a Ruger magazine that is a 10 round double stack but the gun also comes with a Glock mag well, the ones I am using are single stack 10 round magazines, you can buy larger magazines but obviously as you know, they'll be pinned.
New bill is getting passed. Basically all mag fed center fire rifles are now gonna be gone. I panic bought one just now with 2 extra mags so I can have one
There's a lot more models that American's have access to, otherwise functionality is the same, though what makes it different is purely the barrel length as in Canada we require a barrel length of 18.6" or larger otherwise it'll be classified as a restricted or prohibited firearm depending on the overall length.
It's so hard to find Canadian guntubers and I'm really glad I found your account By sheer coincidence.
@@Curtis.Carpenter Thanks for watching! It’s definitely a lot harder for Canadians to make appealing content with our laws.

Great review! Great gun!
Edit: just caught the train sound. But perfect timing while speaking about buying a gun!
Appreciate it! Yeah the train kinda interrupted me 😂 but your observation is very accurate lol
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors it’s the public safety express! 😁
I keep my Ruger PCC loaded and ready to go in my VW Golf at all times. It's a solid platform.
It is a very solid gun, great all round for many scenarios! Being Canadian I don't have the luxuries of being able to do what you do sadly!

Can’t wait to get one. It’s next on my list. Helpful review. Thanks.
No problem! I am sure you wont be disappointed!
I have the same one, CDN edition, and I'm surprised you don't clean it more lol, I find it so easy to clean.

Very nice review brother. Keep up the good work!
Thank you! Appreciate it!
I had a nightmare one night about Trudy banning use of pistol mags on rifles...almost had a heart attack lol
Don't say it too loud he might hear you 😂
I dont need this kind of negativity in my life😂

Ruger’s website no longer shows they’re making the PCC in .40 S&W anymore. Bummer.
That is a bummer, here in Canada I seen a couple businesses that still had them for sale, but very few..
Huh, I have no problem inserting a mag on a closed bolt
Which magazines are you running?
@LakesnWoodsOutdoors normal glock pistol mags. I often load one bullet short from max, maybe that has something to do with it
@@Kevin_drinks_Lead I just tested it out here and the magazine does lock into place with the bolt closed, but the force I need to put on mine with a maximum capacity mag is almost unreasonable, I really have to force it in for it to lock into place with my particular magazines, I tested with less cartridges in the magazine and it did make it easier, I think with most of my magazines being relatively new that the spring tension might be a bit too much and they're pressing against the bolt too hard and it's just barely surpassing the magazine locking piece.
@LakesnWoodsOutdoors that could be it mate. My mags are from the 90s and early 2000. Springs are probably loser
You’ll have better luck keeping zero if you put your red dot on that pic rail on the barrel.
It'll give me a better view of my surroundings that's for sure, though I haven't had any issues with keeping zero, torqued to spec with blue loctite. I like it where it is because the Sparc AR has a bit of a more narrow tube than what I have ran in the past so it's not as large of a sight picture as some other red dot/optics, having it where it is makes me feel a bit more comfortable with my accuracy.
Are you on crown land?
Yes I was
Or is the mag a 17 or 21 round pinned to 10? Reason I’m asking is I like the look of that one and it’s length. So wanting to order same ones
I am running PMAG 10 Glock G17 9mm 10Rnd mags, they also make PMAG 17, 21 and 27 as some other common and notable models, the sizes of those magazines are far better for operation in my opinion, but didn't feel the need to buy larger mags when we can only hold 10 rounds to begin with.
Canada, making the French look tuff.
2300+ FPS with LeHigh 65gr.
I bought the handguard version and it came with iron sights. They where a b'tch to remove.
Handguard with the full stock? Yeah I wouldn't doubt that they're a pain, definitely like the design of that model but they should probably have an option with full stock no irons.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors Yes i would have liked to get one without irons but still i'm happy that it's legal for hunting here.
Cheers from Sweden.
Does the gun get better velocity with the 18.6 inch barrel over the 16.2 inch barrel that they come standard with in the u.s? If so how much?
Considering 9mm is a generally slow cartridge, the likelihood is that it doesn’t alter the FPS by anything substantial, I haven’t taken it to a chronograph yet but would like to get one eventually
1050 FPS for pistol, 1400 for 16" for federal ammo. Unsure about the 18" though.
I’m looking at this gun or the smith and Wesson m&p fpc. Any thoughts?
I could be biased being that I have my own Ruger but I love it and haven't had any issues, the FPC is a really good gun from what I hear but I also have hesitation being that it's a similar design to the KelTec Sub2k, I have heard issues about them and the FPC is almost too new to have any solid long term testing.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors ok that’s kind of what I’m thinking to. Thanks for the response man!
@@CanadianDoorMan No problem! Enjoy!
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors what is the barrel shroud made of on the Ruger?
@@CanadianDoorMan It’s going be aluminum but not really finding specifications as to which type, likely 7075-T6 Aerospace Grade similar to the rest of the rifle
What’s the magazine capacity in the mag you have in that rifle?
The magazines I am using are 10 round Magpul glock magazine! Here in Canada, even if I had a drum I could only legally have 10 rounds loaded into the firearm.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors right, exactly. I’m in Canada as well. The glock mag just looks longer than the factory ruger mag. Is the ruger mag that comes with it a 10 round as well?
@@connorbarnstable9148 Yes, it comes with a Ruger magazine that is a 10 round double stack but the gun also comes with a Glock mag well, the ones I am using are single stack 10 round magazines, you can buy larger magazines but obviously as you know, they'll be pinned.
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors ahhh yes gotcha! That makes sense. Didn’t know the ruger mag was double stack, thank you!
@@connorbarnstable9148 No problem!
Shoot at the train next time
That's illegal
Oh look. I made my Ruger look like a S&W FPC.
Are you saying you made yours look like an FPC or I did that with mine?
That you did. Too much for a carbine designed to fend off hoards of angry pinecone. These aren't combat tools. Funny.
@@Rustebadge But this is literally how the gun is designed by Ruger lol
This comment makes no sense. One folds, one doesn't and look nothing alike.
@@Rustebadgeare you retarded? 9mm will kill just as easily as any other round. They’re guns not toys. Have you ever shot anyone?
New bill is getting passed. Basically all mag fed center fire rifles are now gonna be gone. I panic bought one just now with 2 extra mags so I can have one
Thankfully I was pretty stocked up already, every store I go to is sold out of magazines, we’ll see how it goes!
@@LakesnWoodsOutdoors craaazy bro!!! 🥺😔
This is why we can't have nice things
What's the difference between the canadian version and American ?
There's a lot more models that American's have access to, otherwise functionality is the same, though what makes it different is purely the barrel length as in Canada we require a barrel length of 18.6" or larger otherwise it'll be classified as a restricted or prohibited firearm depending on the overall length.
